Direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of nanoparticle formation in reactive flows are
challenging, and only greatly simplified DNS test-cases are possible, which help clarify the
turbulence–particle–dynamics interaction and guide the necessary modeling efforts. As a
basis for such studies, a new DNS database is introduced, which resolves the smallest
relevant scales of the nanoparticle concentration field to obtain insights into the statistics of
nanoparticle formation in reactive flows. Formation and evolution of iron oxide nanoparticles …
